Fictional character biography

Peter Quinn was born in

Burner. After the group fails their first mission, Magneto abandons them.[1]

The group changed their name to

presidential pardon. Their tenure as government agents was short. They battled the Hulk, and later testified before a secret tribunal against the Defenders.[3] Peeper and Mutant Force were later employed by Professor Power's Secret Empire. Alongside Mutant Force and Mad Dog, he battled the Defenders once again.[4]

The

Battle Star.[5] The group fought Captain America again and claimed that their actions were all to oppose the Mutant Registration Act. They were soon joined by various new members, including Mentallo who posed as Think Tank. This time they came into conflict with Freedom Force
, a group who ironically enough, had been another incarnation of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, but had now become government agents.

The new Captain America, John Walker, lost control during a battle near Carson City, Nevada, and seemingly killed Occult along with several other members of the Resistants due to his recent violent streak as the result of the death of his parents at the hand of the Watchdogs, another group the Red Skull had formed to discredit the image of Captain America. During the fight, Quinn was seriously injured after hitting high tension power lines and was electrocuted and believed dead.[6]

These injuries may have been the cause of his later mental problems: in his next appearance Quinn would never speak.

Beast met him and befriended Peepers, who by now was a stuttering, nervous mutant who had become mentally unbalanced. Peepers repeatedly stabbed a prisoner who tried to kill Beast at this time.[9] Shortly afterwards he was released and became a bartender at Satan's Circus, a bar for supervillains.[10]

Post M-Day

During the battle with the

Mr. M and follows him when he leads his exodus from the institute.[13]

Messiah Complex

During

Predator X. Siryn received the call and rushed to investigate, but arrives only to find what remains of his body.[14]

As part of the All-New, All-Different Marvel branding, Peepers is shown alive and well in Murderworld from which he presumably escapes from with his fellow captives after Arcade is defeated by Gwenpool and Deadpool.[15]

Powers and abilities

Peepers is a mutant with "telescopic eyesight" that enables him to see through solid objects as well as see things that are miles beyond normal vision range or too small for ordinary vision. He can also project beams of energy from his eyes.
